Get off your high horse Spunky, and go back and read what I wrote. Statutory Rape is a broad term. My best friends parents got in a tizzy back when we were teens and had her 20 year old boyfriend charged and convicted with Statutory Rape and trust me there was nothing non consensual about the sex they were having. My point wasn't that it was ok what Obie did or that it was right, iit wasn't and and it isn't , my point was that that 100 word article doesn't explain the situation and the details have never been brought out, as it should be, since there was a mnor involved. The fact remains that Statutory Rape in the US covers a wide array of situations and trying to paint Obie as some evil sinister monster without knowing the details of the situation , especially when I do know how broadly the term can be used seemed a bit unfair to me. You are however correct on one thing, the age of consent in the US does vary, it is as low as 15 in some states and up to 18 in others.

Back to the original question. Obviously, Jon does trust Obie around his kids or he would have been fired him a long time ago.

Not much to add to this thread except I pretty much agree with Walrus.

What high horse rainsong? You were wrong and I told you so. Too bad you are having issues with ME, when in fact you should be a bit more with it and realize how people are taking advantage of children. But you might not see that up there on your high horse, be comforted in the fact that you are not alone, fortunately, our law makers see it a bit clearer.

I do wonder, however, why you would consider 'sticking with the law' as being on a high horse....

*rolls eyes*

Some people here actually can see the difference between being 16 and having sex with their somewhat older boyfriend of 18, and being 15 and being taken advantage of sexually by a man 20 years older.

Big big big difference!

I don't have an issue with you, i merely had an issue with the implied, and if I misintepreted this I apologize, tone and attitude you took about something where virtually no details are known.
